Armorer villagers may give players with the Hero of the Village effect chainmail armor.
Wearing chainmail armor reduces damage taken from most damage types.
When a full set of chainmail armor is worn, the set provides 12 (๐ ๐ก
ร 6) armor points.
Wearing armor reduces incoming damage according to two values: armor, and armor toughness. Each piece of armor provides a given armor and armor toughness value, and the values from each armor piece are added together when calculating damage reduction.
The strength of incoming damage also determines the damage reduction of worn armor, as armor does not protect in a linear fashion.
